The agreement on joint-venture was signed further to the Declaration of Intent, agreed by the Parties in March 2017 during the visit of the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran Hassan Rouhani to Russia.

80 % of the equity of the newly set company will be owned by Transmashholding, the rest will be owned by IDRO. As agreed, the products will be designated both for the Iranian domestic market and, if economically feasible, for the metropolitans of the Middle East.
